I am seeing this bug with Ubuntu Feisty.

Close firefox (or thunderbird) and open them again, and they do not
appear in the same place they were.

I saw these instructions from 2006 for some kind of "advanced window settings" 
option in gnome, but there was no such option when right clicking on the title 
bar of a window or clicking on the title icon:
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-36505.html%3C/t-199815.html

I was going to report it as a firefox/thunderbird bug (missing feature), but 
they apparently explicitly don't include the window saving/loading state code 
in their unix builds, since "since "unix types seem to prefer that Mozilla not 
override the window positioning provided by their window managers":
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31086

So the question is, is there still some kind of "advanced settings"
where I can have gnome remember window positions, and where are they.
Please enable the saving of window position by default in Gutsy if the
functionality is already there.
